Hello,

I’ll be making an investment into a new phone soon after using my note 8 since launch. Due to financial reasons it’ll be a huge investment and I want to make the right call. My note 8s battery barely lasts me 3/4ths of a day now.

I feel like it would feel like a downgrade if I got the S23+ with FHD resolution but the price gap is quite large too. Does the Ultras battery last longer than plus? What about the hardware? Is it worth the investment? I do use my phones for 4+ years.

What would you guys recommend?

    Can’t you set the note 8 to FHD resolution? Maybe try that for awhile for an idea of how the plus would look and see how much of a difference you notice and whether that’s good enough for you.

    Idk about the plus but the battery life comparisons show the S23U easily exceeding all day battery life for most users. The SD8G2 made some pretty big efficiency improvements over previous generations so battery life shouldn’t be a problem with either option, I would think.

    Otherwise you’re paying for the stylus, slightly bigger display, and a better camera. IMO it’s worth it but that’s based on my financial situation and I don’t know anything about yours. If you take good enough care of your phone to make it last at least 4 years then you’re looking at a difference of like $3-5 per month USD depending on how big the cost difference is in your area, not really much of a dent in the wallet for anyone in a financial position to consider a flagship phone in the first place imo.
